GEORGE Elokobi believes Wolves will soon start getting their just deserts.

Having strung together a run of three wins from four games, Mick McCarthy’s men have gone down 2-0 and 3-0 to Liverpool and Manchester City respectively in their last two fixtures.

However, despite leaking five goals, Wolves have still been able to hold their heads high having more than matched two of the Premier League’s top four contenders.

Defender Elokobi insists that has been the story of the season so far, with Wolves regularly impressing but leaving pointless.

Yet the big Cameroonian is confident it won’t be long before the men from Molineux start finishing games with the rewards they deserve – which will ultimately lead to Premier League survival.

“We’ve played well in games and ended up coming away with nothing. It seems to have been like that for a lot of the season,” explained the 23-year-old.

“All we can do is keep playing well and trying to get something from the games we play, carrying on in the Cup against Tranmere (on Sunday) and then again in the league against West Ham (January 10).

“If you look at our recent games we’ve managed to get some decent results and get some points on the board.

“If we carry on playing like this I think we can definitely get enough points to stay in this league.”

The one-match suspension of Stephen Ward saw Elokobi handed a starting berth against Manchester City on Monday, the 12th Premier League appearance of his career.

And the burly left-back admits that he is finally starting to get used to the pace of the top flight.

“The players in the Premier League are very different from the players in the Championship,’’ he added.

“Defenders need to use plenty of quick thinking and forward thinking particularly because the forwards in this league know exactly what they want to do with the ball and have that quality and experience.

“You’ve got to be right on top of your game to counter that and when we go out there that’s what we are always trying to do.”
